RENTAL INCOME
Rental income earned by residents is subject to provisional withholding tax at a flat rate of 20%. A 25% fixed lump-sum deduction from the gross income is available for income-generating expenses.

If the rent is paid in advance for a period of more than a year, the income may be spread over in equal parts to a maximum period of five years.

CAPITAL GAINS
Capital gains realized by residents from the sale of Serbian property are taxed at a flat rate of 15%. The taxable gain is the selling price less the acquisition price (as revalued by the consumer price index) and depreciation costs.

Any capital gain realized through a sale of property obtained before 24 January 1994 is exempt from capital gains tax.

Transfers of property between relatives are exempted from capital gains tax. In addition, if the capital gain is invested in housing within a 60-day period, the gain is also exempt from tax.
